There are loads of benefits to working remotely but sometimes it can be a little… much. Especially during a pandemic. 

So, in case working from home isn’t your cup of tea, the DOOZY team have put together some tips that they find useful when working from home (although making a G&T every night didn’t make the cut).

1. ⏱ Set yourself some Work / Life boundaries
Start at the same time, clock-off at a reasonable time and set aside a designated ‘work-zone’ at home. It’ll make sure that there’s good separation between work-time and you-time, which will only do good for both!
 

2. 😴 Take regular breaks
Make yourself a cuppa, take a power nap or just spend 10 mins away from your screen. You’ll give your eyes a rest and we always feel more productive after a little break (and no, this doesn't include picking up your phone to scroll mindlessly on Instagram).
 

3. 📞 Reach out
Working from home can feel pretty isolating, so remember to chat and check in regularly with your teammates. They’ll appreciate the human interaction too and it’s a great way for you to work through any queries or discuss your ideas.
 

4. 💃 Get up and move! 
Go for a walk, try 10 minutes of yoga or do a silly little dance in your kitchen. Whatever you do, just remember to regularly leave your desk and move about, otherwise you’ll turn into a vegetable with bad posture (probably). 
 

5. 🎉 Introduce Doozy into your team's routine
Adding Doozy to your regular catchups means you can say bye to boring meetings and hello to worthwhile connections with your colleagues. A fun quiz and a daft GIF or three can go a long way to breaking up the monotony of a remote-work week.

It’s been a while since we posted our last update, but I promise you we’ve not being standing still. We’re happy to announce a whole raft of new features, just in time for Christmas. So without further ado, here's what's new:

You now have access to 20,000 ready-made questions, just one click away. Here at DOOZY we want to make it as easy as possible for you to craft the perfect quiz, personalised for your team. And our new question bank makes that at a breeze.

We've rebuilt our app from the ground up, tightly integrating our new question bank and making the process of creating a quiz a ton easier.

The more the merrier, and with our latest release we now support up to 100 players joining a game simultaneously. Time for some epic Christmas quiz battles!

Now players can really express their emotions, but submitting live reactions at the end of each question for everyone to see.

Fresh off the press this week. When you start a game, players can now choose an avatar to join them on their gaming journey.

The leaderboard is now visible after each question, allowing you and your players to stay competitive and keep the momentum going.

Rather than needing to mark all the questions at the end of the round, DOOZY takes care of the hard work and scores the questions as soon as everyone has submitted. 

WE mentioned it earlier, but we have made really significant improvements to the WHOLE experience, to make it easier and simpler to use DOOZY across any device. 

Why not help get your teammates into the Festive spirit, with our awesome little Christmas countdown for Slack. Make your teams final week a blast and Get your hands on it here

Finally, we'd love your help choosing what features to build next. Head on over to our brand spanking new Coming Soon section, where you can vote on what you'd like to see included next in DOOZY.

Thank you for joining us on this DOOZY journey, have a great Christmas and we'll speak again in the New Year.

Get started with these awesome new features!

We launched DOOZY at the height of lockdown to try and make playing remote quizzes easier. 

We've come a long way since then, so I thought it was about time I shared an update on everything that's been going on, and what's to come!

Spicing up your quiz just got a whole lot easier. You can now add gifs directly in DOOZY, with the entire Giphy library at your fingertips!

Rather than you needing to mark each individual text answer, Robo-DOOZY takes care of marking text-based answers. But don't worry, if he gets one wrong, you can easily adjust the scores.

A common issue we heard from you guys was that users couldn't join a quiz after it had started. We've now added the ability to join after the start of a game – the host can then choose whether to accept or reject them!

We've made a boatload of improvements to make playing and hosting quizzes easier on mobile.

We launched our blog a couple of weeks ago: check it now. Looking for inspiration on how to create a great new quiz? Our latest post is sure to help.

We've released a ton of great new quizzes. If you've not had a chance to play them yet, why not host an epic quiz night! Highlights include:

We have a ton of features new features on our roadmap – our goal over the coming weeks is to make it even easier for you to create and host a great quiz. Expect to see sweet new features such as question banks, Pixabay image search and unique question types. Are we missing a feature you'd love to see? Let me know!

We recently sent out a survey asking what we can do to make DOOZY better. If you'd like to have your say, give our survey a go. You'll even be entered into our prize draw, with the chance of winning a £50 Amazon voucher.

That's all we have for this week. Have a great weekend, stay safe and keep DOOZYing.
